Venturing beyond the default OS on Raspberry Pi 5

GhostBSD-Arm64 is running on Raspi4B Re: arm64 versions of FreeBSD

Yes, we have HDMI Audio working on GhostBSD-Arm64 for Raspberry Pi 4B 8Gb or 4Gb or 2Gb. You can play YouTube Videos on your HDMI TV screen without using Headphones. You can build your own FreeBSD kernel from source /usr/src and add these same patch files. https://ghostbsd-arm64.blogspot.com/2024/01/hdmi-audio-sound-patches-into-ghostbsd.html

I posted URL links for those that are interested to read more information about FreeBSD.org/where RPI Arm64 image

You can boot FreeBSD on the Pi 5 with: https://github.com/worproject/rpi5-uefi

Display, USB and SD work out-of-the-box.

I just gave that a go and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was.

Downloaded the most recent FreeBSD 15 aarch64 RPI image

Put it onto a microSD card (I used the Raspberry Pi Imager on my mac, but I assume that dd would do the same)

Tried booting that, didn't work, as expected

Got out a USB flash drive, download the firmware image from the rpi5-uefi githib repo (the zip file from the link below "2. Download the firmware image")

Extracted the 3 files from the zip file to the USB drive

Plugged in the USB drive and booted.

Presto, FreeBSD.

OK, no ethernet, no wifi, fan at full speed.

Running Ubuntu Desktop on Arm-based laptops

Speaker

Gordan Markus Canonical

Description

In this talk, the speaker will introduce the history of running Ubuntu Desktop on Arm-based platforms, the challenges, and the learnings. Additionally, we will zoom in on the current state of the ecosystem, and the enabled devices with a focus on Lenovo's Thinkpad X13s. The Lenovo X13s features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 system-on-chip, and due to the incredible work of the community, the upstream kernel support has progressed immensely in the past year.

The Linux community has been eagerly waiting for a fully Linux-supported Arm-based desktop solution, and today, we are closer to that goal more than ever! We would like to use this opportunity to bring the community together on this journey, recognize our key partners and call everyone to action in providing us with feedback. Last but not least, we would like to share with you our plans and exciting news!

DEC LN03 RS-232 serial line 9600 comm interface Re: Postscript

openprinting dot org/printer/DEC/DEC-LN03 I believe it was 9600 baud serial 8 bits 1 stop bit, None parity.

This was a great addition to my home computer system. 286 PC with MSDOS 6.2 ,1 Megabyte of Memory, and GeoWorks Ensemble 2.x?? I could open a GeoDraw program and create an image then print the image with the output being PostScript file sent serially 9600 baud to the COM1: or COM2: port to the Digital Equipment Computer DEC-LN03 printer. This was the cats meow for sure. I bought the printer from a used electronics-recycle store in Downtown Seattle Washington. I saw the GeoWorks Ensemble on the shelf at a Egghead store and bought it for $99 ?? around 1994 or 1995. This was before Windows95 was released. I showed this program to my boss at Datalight with their product ROM-DOS and thought he could sell ROM-DOS 3.0 DOS license to GeoWorks to replace the need for a license for MS-DOS or DR-DOS. This was around the time frame that MS-DOS had some secret code inside so that Windows95 would not run on another competing Disk Operating System (DOS). Yes, Microsoft licensed Windows95 to Computer Manufactures in an exclusive deal and froze out GeoWorks Ensemble from being pre-installed on computer being sold by the manufacture. evil Microsoft.

So I had a true multitasking Operating System, a GUI desktop that could have a couple programs open at the same time. Create a document that I could print on a postscript printer. Time frame 1992-95 (I can't remember back that far exactly when)

Google GeoWorks or GeoWorks Ensemble for some fun history reading

Re: No SystemD? Look at GhostBSD with MATE or XFCE desktop

GhostBSD has a telegram group. You can download an .ISO file and burn to USB Flash drive and test boot up the live image on your computer and see if you like this BSD. Take a few minutes and check it out as a replacement for your daily driver.

No SystemD, use OpenRC to start systems. Based on FreeBSD 12.1 Stable but from GhostBSD controlled repository. Gnome HOSTed BSD, uses MATE desktop.

Thanks for the consideration of useful BSD, if you don't like SystemD.

Yes, I use Manjaro Linux installed to SSD, BTW. ;>) and Puppylinux frugal install from a USB flash drive. So not Linux adverse here. Use the OS that works for your work flow needs.

Worried about bootkits, rootkits, UEFI nasties? Have you tried turning on Secure Boot, asks the No Sh*! Agency

Re: Is there some technical reason...

"Bring back the Read Only RO jumper on the BIOS PROM chip on the motherboard!"

Yes, but that would cost 2 cents for that jumper and pin header on the motherboard.

TOO, TWO, TOO expensive for the trusted Hardware security it provides. This motherboard manufacturer has NO SENSE to spare with solid security. So we just enable "SECURE" boot ie BOOT ONLY THAT NASTY VIRUS LADEN ROOTABLE MicroSoft Windows that everyone knows and loves.

Nimwits and Windows only trained Information Technology desk jockeys declare "TOO Hard to use a security conscious OpenBSD.org operating system" , or FreeBSD.org with 40 year history , or Ghostbsd.org. Well not TOO hard for me or you to use a BSD with nice GUI desktop, nicely designed in Access Control Lists (ACL) multiuser from the beginning of the OS.

No, No, Spam, Spam, Every where. That is what I like. Viruses for all to enjoy I say. MS Windows is the superior operating system that is easy to use. /SARC

Glad to hear of your success on Ebay. With a bit of time, you can install PeppermintOS 10 Linux on a HDD or SDD 120GB Sata 2.5" or 16 GB USB flash drive and increase your profit from you Laptop sales.

Re: Provisioning Windows

Sorry you have lost your job, Sir. Maybe you can start your own business of installing PeppermintOS Or ZorinOS 15 Linux onto Laptops and sell them to support people working from home? You have the knowledge for the back end and could configure the front end with Linux tools.

Seems that shelves are empty of speedy NEW laptops, so fight the war with the kit you have at hand. Just get rid of Windows7 and Windows10.
